A cataract is a clouding of the lens inside the eye which leads to a decrease in clear vision. The lens is made up of water and proteins. As we age, those proteins break down and clump together on the lens, preventing light from passing through easily to the retina. This causes blurry images to be transmitted to the retina.

Cataract Symptoms

A cataract is not usually painful, but it can make routine tasks, like driving at night, difficult. Many people who have cataracts complain of sensitivity to light, glare, and halos around lights (especially oncoming headlights), and have a hard time focusing clearly.

Aside from these safety issues, cataracts can also affect the things in life that bring you the most enjoyment – seeing bright colors, reading, computer work, watching movies, needlework, playing golf. You may also notice that, no matter how often you have your eyeglass or contact prescription changed, you simply can’t see clearly.

If your vision is clouded by cataracts, you may be missing out on the most enjoyable things in life. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

Your doctor may recommend removing the cataract and replacing the cloudy lens with a clear lens implant, called an intraocular lens (IOL). Cataract surgery is quick, painless and precise. In fact, it is one of the most successful and safest procedures performed in the world.

See Your Doctor

The only way to know for certain if you have cataracts is to have your eyes examined by one of the cataract specialists at Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania. Our experienced doctors use specialized equipment to examine your eye’s lens and check for the presence of cataracts and other eye problems.
